Frequently asked questions
Does the quest start at the Teodor Cincu History Museum in Tecuci?
Yes. It starts at Muzeul de Istorie Teodor Cincu, so it pairs well with a museum visit. The route then passes 14 stops, including Biserica „Sfântul Ioan Botezătorul”, Colegiul Naţional Spiru Haret and the city hall, and finishes at Spitalul Municipal "Anton Cincu" rather than back at the museum.
How long does the walk take and how far is it?
Most players take a little over two hours, including walking and solving puzzles, and cover about 3.8 km through the centre of Tecuci. Bring a fully charged phone or a power bank, since the game runs on your phone the whole way.
Is it suitable for children?
It is rated medium difficulty, so it suits older children who enjoy a story and can work through puzzles with an adult's help. Keep in mind the walk is nearly 4 km and lasts over two hours, which may be long for younger kids.
Do we need to book a time, and can we pause?
No booking is needed. The quest is free to play, you start whenever you like with your own group, and there is no guide to meet. You can pause along the way, for example at a café on the route, and continue later.
